Throwing a spotlight on my favourite Doctor Who/Big Finish character(s) today, with my newest sticker sheet!

Featuring the renegade Time Lord, the Eleven (and Two, and Eight, and Nine, and Twelve, and The Union...) These guys are the reason I fell in love with BF, so it only felt fair to give them a sheet.

Only drawing the regenerations we've met so far, because I'm not that flush with time.

Strong candidate for one of the nine

Waiting and speculating are no longer enough. Someone throw me into the Cocytus.

Riordanverse Head canons

—Leo is trans f to m and also gay :)

—Percy is pan (this may or may not be canon I can’t remember)

—The nine loooooove Disney cartoons like The Owl House and Gravity Falls and Amphibia and very likely more

—Nico has a legit alter in his cabin and worships gods he likes like hestia, Persephone, possibly hades, and possibly hermes (he also does Apollo but he only prays to him about will’s well being)

—after TSATS Nico and Piper talk more often

—the nine play smash bros and Mario cart very often

—Will has a pet bird. I have zero explanation

—Percy adopts every cat on the streets and they do not get along with will’s bird and Percy’s fishies

—Frank’s too innocent to say more swears then “dam(n)” however if you bother his family or friends that are actually just family, you’re only chance is to get on your knees and pray

—Leo goes to the forge when he’s upset cause it gets out his emotions and…he was in there for weeks straight after Jason died

—Will kisses nico’s scars

—people imagine Nico with horrendous eye bags and don’t get me wrong he does have them, but Will does too. I mean he works in the infirmary and probably works there all night. So in conclusion, Solangelo should always be depicted with the darkest eye bags ever

—Leo loves Pokémon sun and moon and always does the fire type moves with them

—Apollo visits Meg often and she taught him how to garden

—Percy listens to the Mowgli’s in the car. (I love the Mowgli’s)

—Leo and Percy give bad drivers a thumbs down instead of flipping them off

that’s all for now, I hope you have a good day!

Katarina's story always makes me so sad. My poor baby was having visions of her death before she died. She thought she had to die because it was foretold. She was little more than Cassandra's slave in Troy. When she met Two, they determined that she HAD to die to prevent a Dalek invasion. Three whole months worth of her adventures with One and Steven were erased from the timeline. She expelled herself out of an airlock to stop the invasion. Her body was recovered floating in space by River Song only to be stolen by the Nine.

My poor babyyyy

Helloooo sorry this will be a long ask. So i was thinking about the spooky memory rooms the Witness shows us in the campaign (eg. the Ghost room, my personal favorite) and my mind landed on the Starhorse one. Even if you ignore the giant horse statue right in the middle, the room is obviously about Xûr and the Nine. There's a lot of scales buried with the gold and they all have the symbol of The Nine, which is just one of many examples. So i was wondering, do you think the Witness showed us a room entirely dedicated to that just because it's one of our many memories, or because maybe there's something more going on? Why would the Witness specifically make a room about the Nine when it could've picked so many other memories? It's not like we're super involved with The Nine, and Trials of the Nine was part of the 30th anniversary pack which is pretty much just a huge easter egg, so why specifically that? I've always wondered about potential Witness/Nine connections or involvements of the latters with our story (i once saw a video, i think it might've been Byf's? anyways, it said that The Nine were the ones who somewhat orchestrated Uldren's escape from the prison and also Cayde's death, as in it wasn't just a casualty). I think it could also be foreshadowing, because if you take that and the codename "Frontiers" for the next storylines then it gives me the idea that we'll venture out of Sol, and maybe run into the Nine? Or at least be more involved with them. They also had their whole plan revolving around Gambit, which I don't think we ever got a proper explanation for. How did Gambit help them? Since that scene where Orin tells Drifter to keep playing the game is also mentioned in the False Idols lore tab it HAS to be relevant for the near future. For my own sanity. Anyways I'd love to know your thoughts! Sorry again for the super long ask.

We don't currently know much about it, nope!

I personally don't think it has much to do with some new secrets of the Nine or the Nine being connected to the Witness. In my interpretation, the room with treasures, especially when paired with the Witness' dialogue, shows that the Witness doesn't truly understand us or what we do. It saw us enjoying loot and rewards and treasures (the Nine stuff probably serves as the most direct visual link to it; we literally go to a game show to receive outrageous amounts of loot) and it thinks that if it recreates that, we will join it.

It basically tried to tempt us with the same thing that we receive from other factions, thinking that we are in it for that and nothing more. It's desperation. I think the treasure room was supposed to just be symbolic and mimicking the easiest thing the Witness could copy, which was dares stuff (also a little bit of meta thinking, but they made those models for Xur's new space so they also put it there).

The Nine shouldn't really be connected to the Witness, generally speaking. I'm not sure about Uldren's escape, but it IS confirmed that one of the Nine participated in helping Ghaul take the Tower in the Red War, and it was punished for doing so. The Nine appear to have two factions; one that helps us (they send Xur and the Emissary) and wants to understand the Light, and another that is kinda... not really against us, but they don't really care about us.

I'm not sure about frontiers because from the little we understand about the Nine, they are tied to our solar system. Literally. They are a sort of sentient consciousnesses formed from dark matter and gravity of our planets; in a way, they ARE our planets. They depend on life in the system to also live; this is why one of the factions wants to be free of their dependence on living matter. This is also why one of the Nine who helped Ghaul was punished because if the system was destroyed, so too would they have been. This also implies that they would not want to be aligned with the Witness, especially with the Witness taking planets.

With Gambit, from what we can understand, they were involved in seeing us prepare to fight to defend the system in the future. Same with Prophecy dungeon. In both places they helped us understand Light and Dark, and to learn using them both to get stronger. Gambit was one of the first places that had us utilising Darkness abilities (experimenting with Taken stuff) to show us that there is no difference between Light and Dark fundamentally or morally, it's just about how we use it. The same was repeated in Prophecy. From what we can tell, the Nine are invested in seeing us win to keep protecting the system, which means protecting them. Though again, some among them would rather seek a way to free themselves from being dependent on us and organic matter.

But honestly, the story could take the Nine in any direction and find a way to explain it either way. They're a really bizarre concept. I do wonder if they're planning something in the future because they did drop the stuff about the Emissary a few times last year (if I remember correctly, there were at least 2 mentions in Season of the Deep) and now again with False Idols. In False Idols, it feels like it's mostly about just Drifter reminiscing about Orin, but all other mentions also focused on Orin before. Maybe some hints about us saving her in the future? It's possible!

I SAW YOUR MERMAN HICCUP AU AND I AM OBSESSED

Made me think though about what if the dragons in a mermaid AU were different sea creatures. Toothless would definitely be an orca.

See me personally, I just figured I'd give the dragons the gills that they had in the books! That way I get my two favorite things: mermaids and dragons in one AU LMAO

It is funny that you mention orcas though, because I actually did a redesign of Thunder from TNR wayyy back when the show first premiered, and one of the iterations I fell in love with was this orca inspired design (which I then proceeded to do nothing with):

but yeah I TOTALLY fuck with night/light furies being whales of some sort. I still remember back when THW was first premiering and I was so convinced that Light Fury was gonna be semiaquatic bc...she just looks like!!!! A beluga whale!!!!!

Anyways uhhhh thanks for liking my merman!Hiccup au! You're a real one for that lmao. I have a WIP in my fanfiction folder for it that I hope to publish one day but I have like....200k words worth of other WIPs that I need to finish first LMAO

Ecdysis - Destiny 2 Season of the Drifter Lore Wallpaper

now available @ https://vbdesigns.net/destiny-2

Interestingly, the name of the book is the process of shedding old skin. Usually in insects. Like the Hive in a way....

his name is xûr and his will is not his own

They're gonna bring the Nine back and instead of kicking people into Dares, its gonna throw them into a laaarge kitchen. There will be two groups of Guardians: one stays in the cooking area and somehow makes the food and prevents malfunctions in the kitchen, and the other harvests ingredients from the enemies (like how Dawning works). The bigger and stronger the enemies you fell, the higher quality in ingredients.

There'll still be three rounds. The first is for a breakfast food, the second for lunch, and the third for dinner. Starhorse, Xûr, and the Emissary are always judges, but if you earn a lightning round (dessert) then Drifter will be the final judge.

The judging system will be based on how many enemies were killed/high quality ingredients were harvested, as well as how well the kitchen was guarded.

It'll be called 'Courses of Eternity' or 'The Great Jovian Bakeoff' or something similar to that.
